Even in the US, Coronavirus has reached terrible and absolutely out of control numbers. Until a few weeks ago, such a situation was unimaginable, but now it is unfortunately reality. Because of the lockdown, there are many reports of people who have not seen their loved ones in a long time, and are looking for alternative ways to somehow reduce the distances.
From Michigan , in the USA, a story comes that has affected everyone. In order to see his newborn granddaughter, a grandfather walked 6 kilometres until he reached his son’s home. Due to the rules, the gentleman was unable to hold his granddaughter in his arms, but only to see her through the window. Everything was witnessed by his son Joshua Gillett, who testified the incident with a post on his Instagram profile.

The photo shows how the grandfather, despite not being able to embrace his granddaughter, only leaps with joy at seeing her, albeit separated by a window. “Knowing that my father can’t hold my daughter in his arms is excruciating,” Joshua explains, “it’s not the first time he’s done things like that, it’s regular now.”
Continuing to read the caption attached to the post on Instagram, Joshua Gillett reveals other details of his father’s incredible gesture. “When my wife was pregnant, my father did nothing but boast of the fact that he would become a grandfather” Joshua underlines: “But now he can only see her in the photograph or from the window, it’s very ugly“. The goal, in addition to witnessing what his father has done, is to send a positive message to everyone: this situation is temporary, and soon everything will return as always.
